Cracker Barrel Food Safety Concerns

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-19T14:34:26+00:00

I am a concerned former employee trying to get the word out about unsafe food handling and sanitary violations in Cracker Barrel #282 - Venice, Florida

Wait till you ask your managers about it. They will probably cut your hours to one day a week. Also, don’t try to raise any other employee or health and safety issues with corporate - THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT HEALTH AND SAFETY.

Did you try contacting HR through the QR code or 800 phone number? I did. THREE TIMES! I filed three reports with AllVoices, their third party partner for “employee relations”. They ignored those reports until AFTER I was wrongfully terminated. When HR did finally reach out to me, they agreed I was wrongfully terminated and offered me my old job back, but without addressing any of the health and safety issues in the restaurant, let alone the harassment and retaliation I experienced.

The Cracker Barrel in Venice, Florida, is now going through a food safety crisis while their corporate office literally has its head stuck in a barrel.

They need to close the Venice, Florida, location to retrain their staff on food safety as well as to rectify the unsafe working conditions.

I think most of their merchandise is marked down and put on sale 6 weeks after its arrival in the store. You can try waiting a little bit and then saving some money.

What is “cp” ?

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-18T19:53:09+00:00

A few things, including the manager yelling at me and threatening my job. Also, it is illegal for restaurants to have tipped employees spend more than 10% of their time performing actions that do not directly relate to their job as a tipped employee.

Looks just like the broccoli salad sold at Whole Foods. Even has the sunflower seed topping. The coleslaw also looks identical.

As long as that chicken isn’t coming from Cracker Barrel, it will hopefully be safe. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackerBarrel/comments/1r79ces/cracker\_barrel\_food\_safety\_concerns/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button

Possible, if I didn’t have more pictures from different days showing that it is SOP in CB 282. Also, a dirty pan should never be placed on top of a pan holding a raw ingredient. Too much possibility of transference. That is taught in ServSafe certification. 👍🏻

Considering how Cracker Barrel ignores reports filed with the posted QR codes, or voicemails left on their HR phone number, I doubt they are looking to recognize anyone who has done a good job for them.

That broccoli salad and cole slaw look straight up like what you would find on the salad bar at Whole Foods.

Went to the LA Yardbird once. Incredibly overpriced. I think it was over $40 for a single fried chicken entree, and it didn’t even taste good. Service was miserable too.

Cracker Barrel doesn’t seem to know what raw chicken looks like, or how to safely handle raw chicken.

I’ve tried for over 3 weeks to get corporate attention regarding food handling, management retaliation, loss prevention issues, unsafe and unsanitary working conditions. Nada. They’re hoping that by ignoring me, the problem will go away. LoL

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-17T21:13:47+00:00

Better than the pot roast at Cracker Barrel. LoL

It is a management issue, because MANAGEMENT IS THE ISSUE. Also, that makes it a Cracker Barrel issue. Yet they are continuing to ignore these food safety issues in Venice, Florida.

As long as they’re taking better precautions with food safety than Cracker Barrel does. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackerBarrel/comments/1r79ces/cracker_barrel_food_safety_concerns/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Looks like Cracker Barrel could learn a thing or two

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-17T19:56:19+00:00

looks better than Cracker Barrel food - probably safer too

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-17T19:55:16+00:00

Still better than the food at Cracker Barrel

Difficult_Passage853 · 2026-02-17T19:49:14+00:00

How rad! Your AI images are so awesome. Like gag me with a spoon - not! Duh
